We had our 3d ultra sound to see baby Eddie on July 6th.. it was awesome, Im sorry Im just now getting to posting them! Doc said all looked really good, my placenta previa has moved, YAY! Eddie was a little over 4lbs and was about 76% for his weight at this gestation. It was so cool to see him!

Cute little face with chubby cheeks.. his nose and big lips remind us of Bryson! Alot of people think they may look alike, can't wait to see!

Big foot!!

My favorite, him smiling with his arm next to his face!

We still have around 6wks to go. that's to 39wks...i feel huge! Some days I just don't know how i will be able to go that much longer..but i know i can and our bodies really can stretch, my poor tummy with this nasty stretch marks.. luckily my sweet boys are so worth it, I just can't wait to hug and kiss him. I look at Bryson and it seems so unreal he will have a brother really soon. He is just gettting to be such a big boy now and talking so much, I almost forgot what the baby stage was like, we'll be back there soon!!

Catch Up

Wow, its been a really long time since my last post, we've done alot since then!
Father's Day- went good, spent time in Alton with Jeff's family and Bryson chased Gus around, boy he loves that dog! Then the next weekend we took my dad and Amy to a Cards game and had a great time despite the loss and me looking like a lobster after! :)

4th of July-
We had a 'Stone reunion' in Glenarm, and it was really nice even though the weather wasn't wanting to cooperate, I don't remember the last 4th of July i wore a jacket or sweatshirt! We played Survivor but it never really got finished but we still had fun while it lasted! Bryson had a great time playing outside and getting all wet and dirty with cousin Cole, he enjoyed seeing all the cousins and took a nap next to his buddy Claire, they were so cute!

Last weekend we went to the County fair by our house, we met up with Phil and his daughter Abby and they had a BLAST..it was so cute...they loved the merry-go round of horses, Abby always had a name for her, bryson was just having fun riding and waving at Abby and was making sure i didnt' have ahold of him cause he's a big boy now and wanted to do it on his own. Mr. Independent! There was also a huge air up slide with a ladder surrounded by two identical slides, I was afraid it might be intimidating, but Jeff and I let him try anyway, he LOVED it.. he held up the line a bit, it was a steep long climb, but he did so great, and he just got up there plopped down and went right down the slide with no fear, it was so cute. By the time he got down he w as already saying more, more..he went at least 6 times..It almost brought tears to my eyes, my baby is really a BIG boy now! He also got in a jump house deal that was neat, that was pretty much all he was ready for and mommy couldn't go on much with him with baby 'Eddie' cooking in her belly. It was really hot so we got a drink and headed to see all the animals, they were a huge hit. Bryson loved the cows--moo.. sheep he petted and panted at them cause apparently he thought they were dogs, he liked the piggies and really loved the horses especially the mini ones, he even kissed one. He and Abby were so cute to watch. Then due to mommy's craving, we got some taffy for a take home treat which he very much enjoyed.

Bryson is growing up so fast. He is really getting funny, and smart-he repeats almost everything. His new thing lately is 'gosse' = gross, if he sees anything icky, on the ground, bugs, etc.. he will pick them up or point at them..gosse gosse.. its funnny. He and daddy also have been making tents which he says is 'neat' and says it repeatedly every time he gets near the table they were making the tent with, it really cracked us up because we never coached him to say that! Unlike some of the other 'unpleasant' words daddy tries to have him say cause it's funny. Hopefully he doesnt' remember any of them!
He's a huge outside kid, we really need to get him a swing set and he'd be in heaven, we decided next year would be best for that, but it makes outside time now kinda boring, but he loves using his golfclub and bat and hitting anything and everything he can find. We also draw with chalk alot, which is messy but fun. We have a new tenant under our deck, a momma duck is sitting on a nest of eggs so we are looking forward to seeing the babies soon. Bryson calls her quack.. and we try to feed her bread but apparently she doesnt' like it cause it's all still sitting there, at least we tried right!?
I have about a million stories but that would take up a lot of time and space.. so i'll save them for another time.
I should be back monday for some baby updates we get to see Eddie in 3d and i just can't WAIT! until then....

18 mths

Well, our big boy is 18mths! It crazy how time flies! I just can't even believe how much of a little 'man' he is now. Daddy buzzed his hair a couple weeks ago and he just looks so grown up, it's really cute on him, he was getting really shaggy, and was always so hot, so Im really glad we did it, and he was suprisingly good while it was being done! He had his 18mth apt yesterday, he was 27lbs(60%) and 34.5" long(90%), and he wasn't wild on the nurse or doc touching him, mainly because he hated the table with the paper, on my lap he was alot better! He is definately a boy with a mind of his own and very stubborn. We got a new little back yard pool last weekend and he tried it out and had a blast, other than when we put the hose in the zebra head that sprays water, it scared him to death! but it has a little slide and he was going down headfirst, with a countdown ..1.23 GO.. it was so cute, he wasn't scared to dunk his head at all, I can't wait to get him in a real pool! Another cool thing we did last weekend was go golfing behind the house (9holes) and he loved the golf cart, he was calling it 'my truck' and wanted to drive.. so funny! He brought his plastic golf club and ball and was having a great time, I think daddy loved every minute of it too! We are having a great time watching him learn and explore he really loves the outside, he is really learning to test us as well, he can be very difficult, but he also has those beautiful blue eyes that make it impossible to stay angry! I can't wait to see this new baby and how Bryson reacts to him! Im 26wks and he is growing like a weed, kicking and flipping like crazy! July 20th we get our 3d to see him, I can't wait!

My house of MEN!

So those of you who haven't heard, we will be adding to the Mossman house of MEN..I don't know, must be some testosterone in the water around here, about everyone i know is having boys! Anyway, we saw our little man yesterday and he's looking great. Measuring alittle big like his big bro was and very active and not shy to show us his 'stuff', I saw it right away...he looks like a little froggy the way he was bringing his legs up and stuff..and we got to see him smile! i thought the pics turned out really cool:

Jeff was adamant from the beginning it wasa boy, he wanted Bryson to have a brother close in age, I think they will have a blast together, Im sure Bryson will beat on him awhile till this other guy can defend himself but I s ee some great times ahead. I told people at work, Im destined for a life of sports! I'm really excited, sure, it would have been cool to have a girl, but I love my boy so much, who could ever be disappointed with another sweet boy!? There's always next time... lool.. Jeff would not want to see me write that! ha ha

So now we are on to our biggest task, naming this little monkey! I think it may take a while to settle on a name, we both have our tastes and fortunately we have several months till sept gets here to come up with something great! :) I can't wait to see what this little guy looks like and if he's like his brother, I know Bryson will love him, maybe not at first, but it will be so fun! I feel very blessed!

Cards Game

We went to the Cards Cubs game sat and took Matt, Nicki and Cole. Here are just a few pics, we didn't make it very long, it was really hot! Also, lets just say, the boys weren't quite ready for this 'big' occasion, I'll spare you the details, but in a couple of years they will have a blast. Bryson got a new Pujols jersey like daddy's so they looked super cute!

Nicki and I switched kids, Bryson is so heavy!

playing, but not for long, he was not interested! He wanted to RUN and look at all the baseballs everywhere, those fascinate him! Think we have a future ball player here!

Courtesy of Godmommy Sam (big thanks!!), I have some cute Stone Egg Hunt pics! I was so excited to see these since I missed the big day, I heard he was loving the candy he could get his hands on.. big surprise!

Also..when Nana was done watching Bryson while we were gone B hung out with Cousin Parker, awesome Auntie Jenny helped us out watching him while NIcki had to work, we were in a bind, thanks to you ALL for taking care of our sweet boy! He even got to full days with Pappy Stone, even papa mossman!! He had so much fun!

Happy Easter

We were on vacation for Easter, Bryson got to spend some quality time in Robinson with Nana and Papa, and Pappy and Gma Stone. Then onto Auntie Nini and Auntie Jenny, and Papa Greg! He was a busy boy! Before we left we had a little backyard egg hunt because we didn't want to miss out on watching him here are a few pics.. he loved the golf ball in one of the eggs!
